Automation is critical for a holistic software testing strategy in today’s DevOps cycle. Efficient automated QA systems run by talented engineers can shorten development times, improve time to release, lower costs, and drive scale. It’s worth noting that nearly a quarter of companies that initiated automated software testing showed an ROI within the first six months. Sounds perfect, right?

Automation testing is a technique in which testers leverage automated software tools for executing test cases. These tests typically include operations that are repetitive in both their nature and outcome. Automating the test suite helps in saving time and effort required in performing repetitive and resource-heavy tasks that are difficult to perform manually. In this blog post, let’s explore the advantages, types, and frameworks of Automation testing.

You can test the software under normal conditions, and that will tell you a lot about what it can and can’t do. What you need to know, though, is how robust that software is. How can it handle intense conditions? How does it cope with error handling? Essentially, you’re testing the software by pushing it beyond its limits, to see exactly when it breaks. That’s information that you need to have, as you’ll then see just how far you can push the software when using it.

In software testing lifecycle, you’d come across two of the most common terms: test cases and test scenarios. After all, these are the building blocks of testing. Getting them right is critical to product success. Test scenarios are derived from a use case, whereas a test case is derived from a test scenario. Using both, we ensure software quality and robustness. Bit tricky, right?

Test plans and test strategies are part of any comprehensive and effective software QA system. While both often work in tandem and are complementary to one another, they represent different goals. But what’s the difference between them? This common confusion arises due to the fact that there is some overlap when it comes to their usage. This blog post discusses the difference between test strategy vs test plan.
